Campbelltown City Council said construction was expected to begin on October 12 on a renewal of the Hurley Street underpass, a pedestrian connection between Campbelltown Railway Station and the city centre in New South Wales. The council describes the project as a $1 million investment, without specifying a currency in the release, and expects work to finish by December. The passage is to close during construction, with pedestrian detours provided.

Artists L-FRESH The LION and Gillian Kayrooz designed the installation after workshops with local residents and school students. The council said consultation identified creative lighting, safety, maintenance and cleanliness as priorities. The project is being delivered with Transport for NSW through its reVITALise public-transport precinct grant program; the announcement describes planned improvements, not completed work or measured safety outcomes.
